Title: The Game wont load!!!
Post by: mightyjoe83 on October 09, 2012, 04:32:56 pm

 Hello,

 I'm new to this site, and I recently downloaded Diaspora to my laptop computer. However I am having an Issue with the game loading and I'm not sure what i did wrong when installing it. Everytime I click on the briefing tab it goes into the loading screen but after a couple of minutes, a message box box pops up that reads."  FreeSpace 2 Open has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. " My Operating system on my computer is Windows 7 do I have to unistall and reinstall again to a different folder? any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm really eager to play this game I hate when I run into snags like this. :) once again any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

if you did install to FS2 then yes you did it wrong. this mod is a standalone and needs its own folder.

Nothing he said suggests he hasn't installed it as a standalone.

Mightyjoe could you generate a debug build (by running the executable that ends in -d until you hit the crash), then find your fs2open log file under Diaspora/data/ and post it here inside [ code ] tags?

Yep, kinda expected that to be the issue. We did say in the release thread that integrate Intel chips aren't powerful enough to run the game. That said, some people have had success if they turn the settings down. Switching off post processing in the Advanced Settings->Troubleshooting section of the launcher has helped quite a few people for instance.

Thank you KaraJorma,

  This was extremely helpful. I'm not having any more issues with the game. I truly appreciate your assistance.
